    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a silicon photonics substrate having a silicon-based material, silicon photonics components formed in the silicon photonics substrate to receive and transmit optical signals, and electrical connections; a transimpedance amplifier chip arranged on the silicon photonics substrate, having a silicon-germanium material that is different than the silicon-based material, connected via the electrical connections to at least one of the silicon photonics components configured to receive an optical signal, and configured to process a received optical signal and output a processed signal to a digital signal processor; and a driver chip arranged on the silicon photonics substrate, having CMOS material that is different than the silicon-germanium material and the silicon-based material, connected via the electrical connections to drive at least one of the silicon photonics components configured to generate an optical signal for transmission.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes a submount and an edge-emitting semiconductor laser chip mounted to the submount by a junction-down method. The semiconductor laser chip includes a semiconductor substrate, a stacked growth layer in which m (m≥1) laser resonators are formed, m P electrodes, and an N electrode. When a beam emission direction is denoted as a z-axis, a direction of the thickness of the semiconductor substrate as a y-axis, and a direction orthogonal to the z-axis and the y-axis as an x-axis, the m laser resonators are located in an area of the stacked growth layer except directly under a center of the second face of the semiconductor substrate in the x-axis direction. More preferably, the m laser resonators are located on the side opposite to the center of the second face of the semiconductor substrate when viewed from the center of the first face thereof.

    摘要: In one example, a laser assembly may include a substrate, a lens array, and a laser array. The lens array may be positioned on a first side of the substrate. The laser array may be positioned on a second side of the substrate opposite the first side. Lasers of the laser array may be oriented to generate optical signals through the substrate to corresponding lenses of the lens array. The lens array may include at least one concave lens and at least one convex lens. The concave and convex lenses may map the irradiance of the lasers to a common target irradiance profile, resulting in an alignment tolerant laser assembly.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser comprises: a semiconductor substrate; a semiconductor structure part that is formed on the substrate; a surface electrode formed on the structure part opposite to the substrate; and a conductive member formed on the surface electrode opposite to the substrate. The conductive member is such that part of or the whole of a side face thereof on an emission facet side, the side face being one side face in an x-direction parallel to an extending direction of an active layer, is formed to be away from an emission facet in the structure part toward a side of the other facet opposed to the emission facet in the x-direction. In the semiconductor laser, a receding portion is formed such that at least part of the conductive member recedes toward the side of the other facet in the x-direction from the emission facet.
